Raina North said lazily, "How do you know this isn’t what I want, Miss Lowell? It’s good to be confident, but being too confident isn’t a good thing."
"Orion Rivers, you used your sweet talk to enchant Nameless, didn’t you? But even if you can fool him for a while, you can’t fool him forever. It’s like no matter how exquisite an ashtray is, no one would carry it around!" Claire Lowell was very agitated, and when she looked at Raina North, she seemed ready to tear her apart.
If it weren’t for Raina North, she would still be Nameless’s fiancée, the lady of The Dark Tower’s master. Now, although her status is still noble, she no longer has any connection with Nameless except for being a part of The Dark Tower.
She had admired Nameless for so many years and waited for him for so long. Her greatest wish in this life was to marry him and spend their whole lives together.
Now that her beautiful dream was shattered, she absolutely hated Raina North.
Suddenly, Claire Lowell calmed down and changed back into her poised and proud demeanor: "Alliance Leader Rivers, while you’re here, take a good look around, you might not have the chance again."
After speaking, she stepped away from Raina North. When she saw the man striding in like a dragon with a tiger’s walk, her pretty face blushed, and her voice turned so soft it could almost drip water, "Nameless, you accompany Alliance Leader Rivers for now, I’ll go see Grandpa Coleman."
Raina North turned her head to look and wasn’t surprised at all when Elias Hawthorne walked in.
Elias Hawthorne nodded nonchalantly and strode toward Raina North.
Seeing this, Claire Lowell’s eyes reddened with sadness and grievance, but more than anything, with hatred. She shot Raina North a furious glance and turned away, leaving in large strides.
Raina North felt quite innocent, wondering why she was being blamed when the real culprit was Elias Hawthorne.
Elias Hawthorne noticed too, furrowing his brows with displeasure. He called Quinn Thorne over and said coldly, "Find out who turned my mansion into The Lowell Family’s private residence."
Quinn Thorne glanced at Raina North upon hearing this, noting how lately, every time his boss got angry, it was because of her.
Raina North spread her hands, "Don’t look at me, I really didn’t do anything."
Quinn Thorne immediately nodded, agreeing without principle, "Yes, yes, my sister-in-law is virtuous and wouldn’t cause trouble."
Raina North raised her eyebrows and said blandly, "Sounds like sarcasm to me."
Quinn Thorne quickly waved his hands, "No, absolutely not."
Quinn Thorne was so anxious he was almost ready to swear an oath. He smiled flatteringly at Raina North and said, "Even if I don’t believe you, I have to believe Anya, right? If she defends you so strongly, it already proves your character, sister-in-law, so you definitely wouldn’t do anything wrong. Even if something goes wrong, it’s their fault."

Raina North snorted coldly, "Saying nice things doesn’t help."
"I’m not saying nice things, these are my heartfelt words," Quinn Thorne said with a cheeky smile, and scurried away.
Raina North looked at Quinn Thorne’s retreating figure and couldn’t help but sigh. Then she recalled what Anya had told her, "To get back at him, I killed myself."
Raina North felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her gaze turned cold, but she quickly concealed it.
She looked at Elias Hawthorne, "Honestly, you don’t have to do this, you know I don’t care."
Raina North truly didn’t care.
If she had to chase and trap a man to keep him by her side, Raina North found that incredibly unappealing.
When Raina North heard Elias Hawthorne say this, she didn’t say anything else.
